Project 10073 Record: Incident #45 - Illinois, 28 June 1947

This document constitutes a record for Incident #45 under Project 10073, concerning a reported sighting of unidentified flying objects over Illinois on June 28, 1947. The primary source of information for this incident was a radio broadcast from 'The Latest News' on June 29, 1947, featuring announcer Charles Sebastin. The report indicates that between seven and ten objects were observed during the early morning hours, specifically between 6:00 A.M. and 6:15 A.M. The documentation includes a checklist for unidentified flying objects, though most fields regarding the physical characteristics, behavior, and flight path of the objects remain blank due to a lack of reported information. The official conclusion reached by the investigators is that the information provided is entirely insufficient to determine whether the observation was of an astronomical nature or otherwise. The incident is also cross-referenced with Incident #44 and appears in the 'Incident Index' of Dr. Hynek's evaluations extracted from the Project Grudge report, where it is categorized under non-astronomical sightings for which there is no evident explanation due to a lack of sufficient evidence.
